It discusses two main species of tobacco, Nicotiana tabacum and Nicotiana rustica and highlights their chemical properties, particularly nicotine content (2–8 %). The article outlines systematic methods of nursery preparation, transplanting, fertilizer application, irrigation, and leaf curing, emphasizing how temperature control (85 °F–160 °F) and air circulation determine the quality and flavour of tobacco leaves used in cigarettes.
